@Atsukot: From June 8 to June 10, a "Worldewide Cafe Walk" was held in 11 countries around the world. Local Guides participated in the meet-up to connect with each other and enjoy a meal together. Local Guide @HiroyukiTakisawa shared a recap of the exciting event in the post, “[Recap] World Wide Cafe Walk 2018.” Socializing in a relaxing atmosphere was the key of this meet-up. Local Guides met at a local cafe and enjoyed coffee and tea together. In the post, @HiroyukiTakisawa shared tons of photos that make us wish we were there too. In particular, you should check out the delicious photos of meals from all over the world. They may just get you drooling!

@NadyaPN: There are some moments in human history that we should never forget. In his post, “One place of Holocaust - Dachau,” @TorM shared one of these moments. It showcases the Dachau Concentration Camp which was active during the horrific years of the Holocaust. The place is now used as a memorial for those who lost their lives there.
I am deeply moved by how humble @TorM's message is as this is an extremely sensitive part of his country's and the world’s history. His post was very informative and I think many people can learn a lot about history from reading it. Although this post isn’t as uplifting as many of the other posts on Connect, I hope that more people will see this post and remember what happened some 80 years ago.
@MarinSt: Belgium beer and jazz — two of my favourite things that I’ve never thought of combining. But, after seeing the post @TSS wrote called “DINANT: Saxophone and Leffe beer city,” it surely does sound like a perfect match. In the post, @TSS shows the beauty and popularity of the Belgium city, Dinant. It is famous because of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. Along with the typical architecture of the area and saxophones statues, vistors in Dinant can also enjoy a tour of the Maison Leffe, a museum dedicated to the worldwide famous Belgian beer brand. They even offer tastings so you can try some great cold beer!

@BruceDM: Many of our Local Guides here on Connect are familiar with our 5 Core Values post in which we explain what Connect is all about. Local Guide @Vasudeo recently wrote a post in which he challenges other Local Guides on Connect to find replies, posts, suggestions and stories that represent the 5 core values.
Interestingly enough, the challenge is to find such posts representing these values by searching only through the “Thank you for submitting your Connect Live application post.” We’ve seen a wide range of emotions in the application post so it is definitely refreshing to challenge others to dig out the best of the best from this very diverse thread.
Tell us about some of the best posts you've read on Connect lately and be sure to keep an eye out next week to see if one of your posts is selected for Friday Favorites! You can check out last week’s Friday Favorites here.
